Return a list of generations along with their creation dates; for each
generation, show the installed packages, with the most recently
installed packages shown last.
For each installed package, print the following items, separated by
tabs: the name of a package, its version string, the part of the package
that is installed (@pxref{Packages with Multiple Outputs}), and the
location of this package in the store.
When @var{pattern} is used, the command returns only matching
generations. Valid patterns include:
@itemize
@item @emph{Integers and comma-separated integers}. Both patterns denote
generation numbers. For instance, @code{--list-generations=1} returns
the first one.
And @code{--list-generations=1,8,2} outputs three generations in the
specified order. Neither spaces nor trailing commas are allowed.
@item @emph{Ranges}. @code{--list-generations=2..9} prints the
specified generations and everything in between. Note that the start of
a range must be lesser than its end.
It is also possible to omit the endpoint. For example,
@code{--list-generations=2..}, returns all generations starting from the
second one.
@item @emph{Durations}. You can also get the last @emph{N}@tie{}days, weeks,
